Materials

Egg dye

White eggs, hard-boiled

Permanent marker

3/4-inch round white adhesive labels

1-inch-wide water-bottle lids

Small rubber bands

White glue or glue gun

Flexible straws

Self-adhesive foam

Small clear glasses or bowls (optional)

Small pitcher (optional)

Instructions

For each snorkeler, dye the bottom third of an egg, then let it dry.

Draw eyes on a label and adhere it to a water-bottle lid. Slip the rubber band around the egg, about a quarter of the way down. Glue the lid over a rubber band.

Trim a straw 1 inch above and 2 inches below the flexible section. Bend it into a snorkel shape and glue it in place.

Cut foam flippers (trace our template ). Glue them to the egg, adhesive side down, and let dry. Stick the adhesive side to the display surface, or, if you like, to the inside of a small glass or bowl. With the pitcher, gently pour in dye until the egg is partly submerged.
